Hill Country Community Band Brings Joyful Noise to Marble Falls Library

The band, comprised of Highland Lakes residents who love to share music with the community, practices throughout the year but really gears up during the holiday season. Led by conductor Bo Boshears, the Hill Country Community Band tackles complex arrangements, bringing its own twist to traditional standards that leaves audiences smiling and in awe of this all-volunteer group.

During the Christmas concert, people can expect a mix of traditional and more contemporary holiday songs as well as a surprise or two.

While a library might seem like a strange place to hold a concert, the staff noted a request from patrons for more music. The band also performs a Fourth of July concert at the facility.

As regulars to the annual Christmas concert will tell you, it’s a big event, so if you want a seat close to the band, get there early. Even if you can’t get a front-row seat, the library’s acoustics make any listening spot a great one.
